    '''LGBT+''' or '''GLBT+''' stands for [[Lesbian]], [[Gay]], [[Bisexual]], [[Transgender]], with the plus standing for anyone not included under the main four categories. The term has been used since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB, marking the inclusion of transgender people in the community. It is the most commonly used term to refer to the community and it is intended to emphasize a diversity of sexuality and [[gender]] identity-based cultures. The term can be used to refer to anyone who is not [[Straight|heterosexual]] or not [[cisgender]], instead of exclusively to people who are [[lesbian]], [[gay]], [[bisexual]], or [[transgender]].

    The progress pride flag was coined in 2018 by Graphic designer Daniel Quasar in order to show progress and inclusion of [[QPoC|queer POC]] and trans POC. Since then more variants of the progress flag have arisen.

    The "ultimate queer flag", or "mega LGBT+ flag" was coined by a [[User:Cryptocrew|user going by Adora]] on January 26th of 2021. On the top, the blue is for [[transmasculine]], the pink is for [[transfeminine]], the white is for any [[outherine]]/[[xenic]] genders, the intersex flag is for all variants of intersex individuals, while the purple is for [[transneutral]] and [[Transdrogynous|transandrogynous]] people. On the bottom, it has the [[multisexual]] flag for all multisexual identities, the rainbow for any same-gender loving identities, and the last flag is supposed to resemble the [[A-Spec|a-spec]] flag for any a-spec identities. The black stripe is for [[Gender Non-Conforming|gender non-conformity]] and [[Pronoun Non-Conforming|pronoun-non conformity]], while the design in the middle is supposed to represent POC and sex workers, as red umbrellas are often associated with sex work.

    The new "ultimate queer flag" or "mega LGBT+ flag" was coined by Anderson (with Adora's approval, as they are from the same [[system]],) on June 27th of 2021. The rainbow is for gay, lesbian, [[vincian]], [[gai]], [[unlabeled]], and other queer people. The purples and pink at the top of the flag are taken from the [[varsex]] pride flag (to be inclusive of both [[altersex]] and intersex people.) At the bottom of the flag, dark brown represents black individuals, tan represents Asian, indigenous, mixed race, and other POC individuals, and white represents albino people, as they face discrimination as well. In the design on the middle of the flag, there are four petals; blue represents transmasculine people, pink represents transfeminine people, purple represents transneutal and transandrogynous people, and yellow represents outherine genders, xenic genders, and cultural genders. On the petals, there are four Ms, each representing something; multisexual identities, [[multiromantic]] identities, [[multigender]] identities, and movement towards equality. In the middle of the design, green represents aromanticism and aro-spec identities, white represents [[Tertiary Attraction|tertiary attraction]], purple represents asexuality and ace-spec identities, and dark grey represents [[Agender Spectrum|agender]]/[[genderless]] identities, [[demigender]] identities, and the act of rejecting conformity (in pronouns, gender expression, societal roles, etc.) The red octagon represents sex workers, as their common symbol is a red umbrella, and the infnity symbol represents polyamory, [[polygamy]], [[Ambiamorous|ambiamory]], and other forms of [[Ethical Non-Monogamy|ethical non-monogamy]].

    The "Harmony" pride flag, (also sometimes known as the "Community" pride flag,) coined by Tumblr user PoisonousPastels on February 14th, 2021, aims to achieve representation of all within the LGBT+ community. Unlike most pride flags, this flag is not rectangular. Instead, it opts to have a swallowtail shape. The heart within the center is representative of love, both platonic and romantic. The ring/circle around it represents a unified space where everyone can feel welcome. The empty space of the swallowtail formation represents space for those who are still [[questioning]]/figuring out their identity. Individual colors also have their own meanings: Black is for individual experiences. Brown is for people of color. Pink is for community and acceptance. Red is for gender non-conformity. Orange is for love of the same gender. Yellow is for [[Non-Binary|Non-binary]], [[Intersex]], and [[Genderqueer]] identities. Green is for [[A-Spec|A-spec]] identities. Light blue is for freedom. The darker blue is for love of multiple genders. Purple is for spirit.
